Re: What kinda soap do you use?
Are your ears healing or healed?
For sore/irritated lobes, you don't even need soap. Sea salt soaks are all the aftercare you need, and washing them with soap will probably just irritate them more.
For healed lobes, you can use anything you want. I clean my plugs and ears at the sink after I take a shower and I just use whatever soap is there. Scented, unscented, antibacterial or not, whatever. I just don't use a lot on the actual lobe because it can be kind of drying.

I'm Lindsay.
I have 1/2" lobes and 11 piercings: left helix x2, both conches, both nostrils, septum, navel, and VCH.
My lobes are small but I know a lot about stretching and how to do it safely, so message me if you have any questions!

Re: What kinda soap do you use?
if your ears are not healed dont use antibacterial soap because the bacteria will evolve and you will have very strong bacteria that is hard to get rid of.
